Happy belated Thanksgiving to all of my Blogger friends. I've not been on the computer in a couple of days and haven't forgottenabout you.

As you know from previous posts, my Dad had cancer, and kicked its butt. On Wednesday, I received a call from my Mom informing me Dad had taken a turn for the worse. We came down to Texas to be by my Dad's side, while friends take care of our animals and home.

My Dad is resting at home, with the help of Hospice, sexy nurses (inside joke with my Dad), and medication to make the last days of his life easier and pain free.

The wind is terrible, and the ice is coming in.I’m sitting inside enjoying a nice cup of tea, and
then it’s outside time with my Yakatrax to salt down a few areas. Temperatures
keep dropping; snow is on its way. I'm happy I did all my errands, shopping, and getting gas early this morning before it became nasty outside :-)

Today, Bulldog Man and I wanted to visit a military cemetery
to honor and show our respect to fallen military soldiers and their family
members.

We drove up to Oklahoma City, to visit a cemetery
located across from the 45th Infantry Division Museum off of NE 36th
Street, called the Oklahoma Veteran’s Cemetery; formerly known as the Union
Soldiers Cemetery.

This cemetery is the final resting place of 63 Army
veterans, 3 veteran's wives, and one veteran's daughter. Soldiers buried here
served in Army units from Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin, Michigan, & Tenn. Included are three men who fought in the
Indian Wars. The cemetery has been re-designated as Oklahoma Veterans Cemetery,
and now may be used for the resting place for any honorably discharged member
of the Armed Forces of the United States.

While visiting this cemetery, Bulldog Man and I read
each headstone, cleared leaves, dirt, and any debris found on each headstone,
and made sure the flowers, lights, and flags were standing properly.

There were 6 unknown headstones placed at the cemetery.

This Sergeant First Class severed Vietnam twice, and in WWII.

Before leaving, a prayer was said, acknowledging
these men and women for their service and sacrifice for this country and our freedoms.

Sorry Blogger friends, I’ve been away from my blog
for several days to take care of things around my homestead.

This past weekend, Bulldog Man and I stopped at
several estate sales in town.At one of
the estate sales, we picked up a potato ricer $5.00, down vest $3.00, and hand
tools $20.00.Then we headed on to
another sale, this one was after church on Sunday.

At another estate sale, we came home with a very
large old-fashioned white linen table cloth and 8 napkins for $5.00, homemade
winter scarf for $1.00, a stoneware pitcher for $3.00, metal jar opener for
$1.50, large grader 50 cents, Magic Hostess meat grinder and salad chef with 5
blades, and a cookbook $10.00, a large magnifier for working with tools $1.00, and
a heavy duty Keystone old-fashioned food chopper with 4 blades for $4.00.

Everything on Sunday was 1/2 price.

Everything on Sunday was 1/2 price.

I also put up in the pantry 6 jars of apple
butter.I had to hide the apple butter
to make sure our son, Tank, wouldn’t eat it all up in a couple of meals.

This is the final harvest from my garden on beans
and eggplant.My peas are still trucking
along.The weather is going to get nice
for a few days this week; I’m hoping the peas keep growing before my first
harvest.

And finally, Bulldog Man and I bought tickets to see
the Doobie Brothers; this was a late Anniversary present to each other.
